![]() ![]() The Sonos Arc delivers excellent, crisp sound. However, Trueplay Tuning is currently not accessible via the Android version of the Sonos app, and it’s unclear when or even if this will change. This calibrates the Arc to better suit the natural acoustics of your room, so it’s better able to reflect ambient noises off of any nearby walls, floors and corners. If you have an iOS device, you can calibrate the Sonos Arc via a feature in the app called Trueplay Tuning. Setting up the latter is a simple task of going to Settings, System, selecting the Arc as it appears on the menu, and following the on-screen instructions to connect everything else to your WiFi network. Once the Sonos Arc is connected to your home network, you’ll be able to use the app to pair it with compatible Sonos speakers, either for multi-room music streaming purposes, or to create a wireless surround sound system in your living room. ![]() The apps guide you through the whole process, which shouldn’t take any longer than five minutes. To get the most out of the Sonos Arc, you’ll need to download the Sonos app(s), have your home WiFi network password (or an Ethernet cable) to hand, and create a Sonos account, if you’ve not done that already. The rubberised feet means it sits easily on most shelves and stands. The Sonos Arc is also fairly light (6.25kg) and the weight is evenly distributed throughout, which means it’s easy to lug around and reposition. If you don’t have the shelf space, then you’ll need to invest in a wall mount. As with the Samsung S60A, you’ll need to consider where you’re setting this up, lest any of those side-fired ambient noises get muffled and lost. Two of the speakers are set into the top of the Sonos Arc, and there’s one speaker on each end. The relatively low profile (8.7cm high, 11.5cm deep), means that you should be able to position the Sonos Arc on a stand or beneath most TVs with little bother. It’s not as tall or deep as other soundbars, like the Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar and the Bang & Olufsen Beosound Stage, but it’s bigger than the Sonos Beam Gen 2. This gives the Sonos Arc a very smooth and streamlined appearance, which belies the fact that it’s actually pretty big, measuring over a metre (114cm) wide. Besides these and a physical ‘join’ button, which you should only have to press and hold once during set-up, there are no other physical controls or connections on the device. Touch-sensitive controls for media playback and the far-field microphone sit on the top of the Sonos Arc. ![]()
